MCM: Aircraft

Part of MCM (Minecraft Comes Military), a set of separate military mods: Aircraft, Devices, Hordes and Air Support. Each one works without the others.

Military helicopters and ships for Immersive Aircraft on Minecraft 1.21.1 (Fabric and NeoForge), 1.20.1 (Fabric and Forge) and 1.19.2 (Fabric and Forge).

The 1.20.1 builds are new ports of the 1.21.1 mod and have not been played through in game yet; please report anything odd on the Discord. Everything below is present in both; the only visible difference is the missile smoke trail, which uses vanilla cloud particles on 1.20.1.

The 1.19.2 builds are a further port of the 1.20.1 mod. They have not been played through in game yet either, and they have no ships, no creative tab and do not use Civilian Aviation; see “Minecraft 1.19.2 builds” below.

Also included:

• Missile Pod weapon (guided missiles that only hit hostile mobs and hostile aircraft and never break terrain).
• Night navigation lights for rotorcraft (client side).
• Cockpit warnings: low altitude, PULL UP, terrain ahead, hit, damage and fuel (client side).
• Solid rotor blades instead of a translucent disc on the UH-60, AH-64 and V-22, and V-22 nacelles that tilt forward with forward speed (1.21.1 builds, from 0.2.1).
• Interfaces for other mods: Gunship, CrewDoors and LitterBays (1.21.1 builds, from 0.2.1).
• A creative tab, “Minecraft Comes Military: Aircraft” (1.21.1 and 1.20.1 only).

Requirements

Minecraft 1.21.1

• Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric Loader 0.15 or newer, Fabric API
• Immersive Aircraft 1.7 (1.7.0 or a later 1.7; 1.4 to 1.6 are not supported by this version, use MCM: Aircraft 0.1.x for Immersive Aircraft 1.4.6)
• Civilian Aviation (a version that works with Immersive Aircraft 1.7, for example 1.0.3)
• On NeoForge 1.21.1: NeoForge 21.1.x with Forgified Fabric API, in place of Fabric Loader and Fabric API

Minecraft 1.20.1

• Minecraft 1.20.1 and Java 17
• Fabric: Fabric Loader 0.14.21 or newer and Fabric API 0.92.x
• Forge: Forge 47.x with Forgified Fabric API 0.92.6, in place of Fabric API
• Immersive Aircraft 1.5.0 (1.5.x; 1.6 and later are not supported by the 1.20.1 builds)
• Civilian Aviation 1.0.3 or newer for 1.20.1

Minecraft 1.19.2

• Minecraft 1.19.2 and Java 17
• Fabric: Fabric Loader 0.14.9 or newer and Fabric API 0.77.x
• Forge: Forge 43.x; needs neither Fabric API nor Forgified Fabric API
• Immersive Aircraft 0.7.11 (0.7.11 up to, but not including, 0.8)
• Civilian Aviation is not supported on 1.19.2 and is not needed

Minecraft 1.19.2 builds

The 1.19.2 builds (Fabric and Forge) bring the UH-60, AH-64 and V-22 helicopters, the Missile Pod, the night navigation lights, the cockpit warnings and the config files mcm_aircraft-weapons.properties, mcm_aircraft-navlights.properties and mcm_aircraft-warnings.properties to Immersive Aircraft 0.7.11. Compared with 1.20.1:

• No Civilian Aviation. The helicopters use their own base class on the public Immersive Aircraft API, so Civilian Aviation is neither needed nor supported on 1.19.2.
• No Rubber Boat and no Zumwalt Destroyer: they need vehicle features that Immersive Aircraft 0.7.11 does not have.
• No creative tab “Minecraft Comes Military: Aircraft”; the items are in the vanilla transportation and combat tabs.
• Engine sounds follow the Immersive Aircraft defaults, and the helicopters use their own navigation light layouts.
• A few HUD effects that need newer drawing code (clipped or blurred overlays) are simplified.

The 1.19.2 builds have not been played through in game yet; please report anything odd on the Discord.

Configuration

Files are written to config/ on first start:

• mcm_aircraft-weapons.properties – AH-64 cannon, missiles and sight
• mcm_aircraft-ships.properties – ship helm behaviour and ship’s boats
• mcm_aircraft-navlights.properties – navigation lights
• mcm_aircraft-warnings.properties – cockpit warnings
